According to ABC, there is SO MUCH Bachelor drama this week that we need two episodes! The one tonight is three hours long! I may need to have my liver enzymes checked after this week… When we left off last week all the women hated Peter, and he looked like he was ready to run away, fake his own death, and create a new life for himself. Instead Peter pulls Alayah aside and tells her she … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelor–S24 E5: Golf Cart Injuries →
This is a historical romance adventure with a mystery to solve and a touch of the paranormal, and while there are parts of the book that drove me scatty (more on that soon), I really did love the lead characters (In short, they’re ADORABLE!). Desmond Harrison, the son of a criminal banished to a penal colony, has ‘made good.’ The vicar in his Dorset village tutored him and introduced him to his mentor, Professor Gordon. … Continue reading Her Scandalous Pursuit by Candace Camp →
Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!
This HaBO comes from Mary, who is trying to find what she describes as “British chick lit”: I’m hoping you can help me find a book I read several years ago, in the middle of a British chick lit binge! I really thought it was a Jill Mansell, but none of the plot descriptions are ringing bells and I don’t want to read through her entire backlist to find it. The plot I remember is … Continue reading HaBO: Hero Ghostwrites His Aunt’s Books →
RECOMMENDED: Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik is $1.99! This is a sci-fi romance that released last year and I absolutely loved it. You can read my A- here:
I am so incredibly happy that this book is in the world, especially after feeling like I’ve exhausted all my sci-fi romance options. Polaris Rising is exciting. It’s funny. It’s fan-fucking-tastic. My quibbles are minor in comparison to the joyful Good Book Noises I made while reading this.

This HaBO is from Jenny, who is looking for this historical romance: I’m looking for a historical romance, but I don’t have much to go on unfortunately. The heroine’s relative (possibly father/grandfather) is forcing her to marry. She’s been given a little bit of time to choose for herself before the relative selects a husband for her. The hero is her friend and has to marry for some reason as well. So they decide to … Continue reading HaBO: Hero & Heroine Play Matchmaker for Each Other →

Stripped by Zoey Castile is $2.99! This is the first book in the Happy Endings series. I read this one and gave it a B grade:
Stripped is an uncomplicated romance between two goofy, sexy people. It has a sweetness to it that’s reminiscent of a contemporary friends to lovers trope. If that hits all of your buttons, do read this!

She teaches, researches and writes about media and society, politics, and public opinion. She’s most interested in how gender, … Continue reading Guest Review: Hearts on Hold by Charish Reid →
So it’s going to be very hard to write this review, because basically I am sitting here flailing (which makes it very hard to type), and it is taking everything I’ve got not to just scream “Eeeeeeeee this is so adorable everyone should read it right now!” and then just dive back in for another reread instead of writing a proper review. Therefore, in the interest of not standing between you and an AWESOME ADORABLE … Continue reading Hearts on Hold by Charish Reid →
